If you manage them Bob I have a battalion which we can use for Jyske and so we'll then complete the entire Danish contingent of Foot :D

Evening gents, I have just realised that this topic is here - I usually only get as far as the BLB section. Can't wait for the weekend. If needed I have a squadron of grey coated Warfare Cav and one of North Star in Blue. Both French of course but freshly painted and keen to go. I might bring them along anyway. I have older English and French units as well if needed, infantry and Cavalry.

Cheers

Gents...

.....my final words for the Weekender are.....

...all of you have a safe journey to Derby - especially those of you travelling from Austria and the USA to join us for a fantastic weekend of gaming....

....I'm sure the 'banter' will start when we all meet up in the bar (from 6.00pm) and continue through the game briefing - 9.00pm...and then back into the bar!!!!

See you Friday night....

Gents,

A question has occured:
Do I have I-net access in the Derby Conference Center, i.e., Wifi or such? And if yes, do I have to state it when arriveing there?
Sorry if this sounds weird. Would like to take my Notebook with me and use it :wink:

Very short time period for such decission, but...

Thanks for any reply

That was purely due to a dastardly combination of work and British trains.

Driving down this time, its all down to me and what will seem like 17 million other road users on the M6 tomorrow afternoon ;)

Barry,

Thank You :D

Bill,

Instead of using the car free the horses, mount up, draw swords and plow through those 17 Million :lol:

See you tomorrow evening in the Bar my Friends!
